You know those little trail mix types of snacks that they hand out on airlines? Those ones that come in an impossibly small bag, and are only good for a couple of bites and by no means are a substitute for the meal you're probably missing during the flight.

They usually hand these things out just after takeoff while you're still trying to calm your nerves that are (rightfully) frayed having your body propelled unnaturally at 500+ MPH into the sky. Strangely enough, that ridiculously small portion of goodness actually does wonders to distract your body from its current mortal peril.

It's like all your body needs are some processed off-brand salty carbohydrates in order to go, "You know what, the fact that I could die right now at any given moment is actually fine."

You can't blame anyone for not wanting to give up their snack, especially considering it's really the only thing they have going for themselves at that particular moment. This snack certainly didn't smile back after this entitled mother insisted that a complete stranger relinquish the snack that was handed out.

    I was on vacation for Memorial Day Weekend, on my flight back that's when this happened. The flight attendant came around and gave everyone a drink and a bag of goldfish and a biscuit. I ate my biscuit however I wanted to keep my goldfish in case I got hungry later on in my trip (flight was short). The mom next to me then is like my son is hungry can he have your goldfish.

    So when she asked I was like sorry, I am saving these for later. She then gets loud to where other people can hear us, and is like my child is hungry and you aren't sharing the food you don't even want to eat. I then pointed out mam, you ate your son's goldfish. Do you even want these for your son or are you going to eat these too?

    Now in normal circumstances I would gladly give my goldfish up, but a couple things. I saw her eat her sons pack and his.

    She gets angrier says some more stuff, I put on my AirPods Pro with noise cancellation and continue on. The flight attendant comes and tells her she can purchase a snack for her son.

    OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a hole: I could see myself being the a hole here because the snacks could be for her kids, I just assumed that she would eat them.

    Academic-Bet-5661 NTA - you smelled something fishy in her comments whitewer She probably ate those crackers on porpoise. Though you decided for the halibut to keep them for yourself which is absolutely fin. Seems she was fishing for more snacks, and wanted to make waves when you refused to give yours up

    No-Jellyfish-1208 NTA First of all, it was your goldfish. You did not have to share it with anyone. Second, that woman sounds just bad using her kid as a sympathy farm and free snacks generator. Classy.

    RVFullTime NTA You were probably right about her wanting to eat your Goldfish crackers herself.
